I have been more sad and depressed than I expected to be, about the lack of turnout for Warren and her exit from the race. Her letter to her supporters made me cry.
We reach 100 years of women having the vote, as of August this year, and we’ve still never had a Madam President. I was with Hillary. I was with Warren. We persist, we don’t sit down, we speak out and stand up, and STILL we are looking at yet another presidential cock fight.
I will vote blue because that’s where my morals and my heart lie, but I and many others will continue to be sad and even a little angry that we’re voting for Yet Another Old White Man.
Don’t tell us not to be angry. Don’t tell us that they’ll do better by us than Warren would have. Don’t tell us that she wasn’t “electable”.
Definitely don’t tell us that it wasn’t about her gender.
